    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, His Excellency the President referred to the outcome of the Referendum. In fact, the matter of the Referendum which was a watershed event in the history of this country should, in my view, have received a lot more attention in the Presidential Address than is actually evident. I listened to every sentence and even watched the body language of His Excellency the President as he spoke and addressed this august House and, by extension, this country. I want to congratulate the Kenyan people because they overwhelmingly voted to reject a bad Draft Constitution. Some of us burnt the midnight oil to make sure that Kenyans came along with us. The 3.5 million Kenyans who said \"no\" to bad law, as a matter of fact, had also at the back of their minds and in the absence of the necessary Referendum law, said \"no\" to bad governance. Because 152 of our own constituencies voted overwhelmingly for \"Orange,\" this Government, therefore, does not enjoy the mandate and confidence of the Kenyan people. Ordinarily, in a democracy, this Government should have resigned and called for new elections, because that is the mood in the country."
